Notes
They can be kept in an airtight container at room temperature for a few days, although I prefer to keep them in the fridge or freezer. They can be eaten straight from the freezer and it keeps them fresh.
You can use mini chocolate chips instead of the cocoa nibs if preferred. Add at the same time as you would the cocoa nibs.
For smoother energy bites, add the cashews to the food processor first and process until it forms a flour before adding the remaining ingredients.
